Venus is the second major planet associated with acting; it gives a beautiful face or body, refined taste and glamorous features. Acting requires Mercury as well as Venus’ support. Venus alone can make you a model but not a good actor while Mercury alone can make you an acclaimed actor. But, Venus in a person’s horoscope should be afflicted. This is because without an afflicted Venus, the actor might feel shy and won’t be comfortable performing in front of unknown people. Successful actors always have an effect on the malefic planet on their Venus sign.
Moon, Rahu and Mars also signify acting as a career. Moon is associated with mind, creativity and art. Since everyone is not able to express his emotions in front of everyone, the person should possess a strong will and determination. Rahu is most important as it represents Maya which is the medium of acting. It is everything that you are showing in front of the camera that is not real. Mars gives the will power to pursue and enhances the creativity.
